DC Kiva Challenge!
The DC Community is coming together to give back what we can from our poker successes.
The Challenge: Poker players do more than just "play poker.†Some of us are lucky enough to be successful at something we love to do. As poker players, we have to understand the value of money and completely disregard it. And, knowing this, we want to give something back from our successes. So, we're coming together through Kiva, a microfinance non-profit organization, to give back in a way that matters.
We challenge ALL DC members to join together and loan what you can. The Challenge is to loan out at least one buy-in at their normal stakes each month starting right now. I have created our own Kiva Team, consisting of fellow DC community members, for everyone to join so we can track all of the loans this amazing community makes.
As an added bonus, for each $25 loan made in March (minimum loan on Kiva is $25), you will receive one raffle ticket. If you make multiple loans, you'll receive multiple raffle tickets! At the end of the month there will be a drawing, with the winner receiving a FREE coaching lesson from a participating DC coach of YOUR choice!
How Kiva Works
To find out more details, including how to join and the list of participating coaches this month, please check out this website:
Buy-in to Giving
Once you've joined and made your first loan, be sure to come back to this thread and post your donation brag so I can track your raffle tickets! (or email me privately at firstname.lastname@example.com with the # of loans you've made if you prefer to remain anonymous)
At the end of the month, I'll ask everyone to email me with the total amount they loaned in order to assign the appropriate number of raffle tickets.
Grindcore put it best when he said this:
The great thing about Kiva is that you don't actually donate the money. It's like a bank account with negative shitty interest instead of positive shitty interest. Most players are over rolled. To comfortably multi table you really don't need more than 20 BIs at the site you play on. If you have the rest of your money sitting in a bank account, you might as well loan it out. I'm saving up for a house for example and don't really have an immediate need for the money I make now, until I get to the point where I can buy the house. So meanwhile I can put it towards this charity.
Now let's get out there and show our quality as a community and make this a great success!
(If you're a coach who wants to participate for future months, please email me!)

There's a whole big ruckus about PayPal's legal censorship, i.e. denying service to online merchants selling "obscene written content." I don't know why anyone is really surprised; PayPal is owned by eBay ~ and I wrote about the problem back in 2007.
Anyway, I'm back.

Loan for bridges: Engineer seeks funds to replace structures
For the first time in 30 years, the Auglaize County engineer is taking out a loan for bridge replacement projects.
"I'm not comfortable with taking a loan out for the first time, but in this case I have to," Auglaize County Engineer Doug Reinhart said. "I don't want to create debt for the county or the next engineer, but it adds up to me needing to move forward with this."
The loan from the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) is for $176,000, to be combined with a county match of $44,000. Interest on the 20-year loan is zero percent and it would be repaid at less than $9,000 annually.
The $220,000 total project costs are for the replacement of two Salem Township bridges. One is on Salem Noble Road and and the other on Deep Cut Road at Deep Cut State Park.
The bridge projects are to go out to bid in the spring for planned construction this summer. The bridges are to be done
one at a time so as not to cause travel problems, as they are within three miles of each other in the northwest quadrant of the county.
They haven't been posted for weight limit restrictions, but Reinhart said if work wasn't done soon that it would have been required.
Reinhart said they also could have saved money over time or posted the bridges, but inflation would have caused project costs to increase greatly while they were saving up the money for the work and restricting load limits could cause travel difficulties with the bridges so close together.
Posting the bridges would have restricted bus, farm to market, and emergency response travel, he said.
"By replacing them this year, they are up to standards and won't have to be posted," Reinhart said.
With 60- to 75-foot spans, the bridges have beams longer than what county crews can make themselves or Reinhart said he would have gone that route with the work.
"Out of 350 bridges in the county, none are posted now, but with income dropping there may be postings soon," Reinhart said.
Forty-six county bridges were posted when he began his job, but 15 years ago, those that had become problems were repaired and replaced, so that there were no weight-limit restrictions throughout Auglaize County.
"I don't know how much longer I can keep up with that with declining revenue," Reinhart said, explaining that his department's income for 2013 is expected to be below that of 2006.

What do we see in typical unboxing videos? Everything except the manuals! We may love our novels and other books, but product literature is definitely not our favorite. While it's easy to operate Android devices (we usually don't need instructions for them), other products highly depend on these booklets. We tend to ignore them in the beginning, but we usually go back to them once we're stuck.
Instruction booklets can be annoying. They're bulky, boring and usually not very interactive. Having instruction manuals on our devices would be optimal and much more fun. This is exactly what Inventor Publisher Viewer is doing, bringing DIY (do-it-yourself) manuals to our Android devices–in both 2D and 3D.
This product comes in two versions: the Inventor Publisher software (used by the business that sells the product) and the Inventor Publisher Viewer (for the consumer). If you're a business and want to provide 2D/3D DIY manuals to your customers, this software's price starts at $2,495 and can be purchased at Autodesk's site. Quite a high price, but definitely a good investment if you plan to use it on a large scale. Companies like good ol' IKEA, BicycleTutor.com and Engineering.com have chosen to use this software, so it's definitely no small-time product. And it has great potential. As for us consumers, we can enjoy the brand new free app, available at the Android Market.
- Simple, intuitive user interface
- Zoom, pan and rotate in 3D using Multi-Touch
- Play or scrub through animated sequences of step-by-step instructions
- Double Tap on individual components for detailed part information
- View text descriptions and annotations that can help augment 3D graphics
- Includes sample instructions and access to an online gallery of instructions right in the app
- Create, publish and deliver instruction files to mobile devices using the Publish to Mobile capability of Autodesk Inventor Publisher desktop PC software
- Store files on your device or Cloud Storage
Before you download the app, though, there are a few device requirements. You'll need to have Android 2.1 or above, OpenGL 1.1 or above, and Autodesk recommends devices with a 1 GHz processor and 512 MB of RAM. Something else to note is that "Textures will only appear on Android devices with PowerVR chips when models with textures are published using R2011 and R2012 of Autodesk Inventor Publisher desktop software." If you've got it all down, hit the bar below for a link to the Android Market, where you can download the free app.
For a quick look at the app, watch the video posted below. There are also a few images and a press release with more details. Now, get down to business and start building!
Show Press Release
A June 2010 U.S. Consumer Survey showed that 61 percent of consumers who shop online would be more inclined to purchase a product if given online access to 3D assembly instructions. It comes as no surprise then, that companies such as IKEA, BicycleTutor.com and Engineering.com have selected Autodesk Inventor Publisher to aid consumers in do-it-yourself (DIY) assembly.
Below I've outlined a few features of Inventor Publisher for Android. I can also provide images for your use.
Features of Inventor Publisher include:
- Publishing and viewing options: In addition to publishing support for 3D PDF and 2D vector graphics, Inventor Publisher now enables users to publish directly to Apple iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. A free companion Autodesk Inventor Publisher Mobile Viewer app makes it easier for mobile technicians and salespeople to access 3D interactive instructions.
- Tighter CAD interoperability: Inventor Publisher extends Digital Prototyping to documentation teams through much richer, higher-fidelity import of Autodesk Inventor data and integration with Autodesk Vault data management software.
- Enhanced authoring capabilities: Users can easily create detail views, section planes, bill of materials (BOMs), and parts lists and have more ways to clearly communicate key concepts and information.

Salisbury University offers a Master of Arts Degree in History with concentrations in the following areas Chesapeake Studies; Colonial and Revolutionary America; Modern (19th-20th century) United States; and European/World.
"What types of jobs do most of your graduates find?"
The M.A. in History provides students with a solid background in research, interpretation, analytical skills, and logical and incisive writing. As a result students who have finished the program are well suited to many occupations. Many, of course, will go into education, either at the secondary or post-secondary level. Others have found satisfying work in such areas as museum studies (curators, researchers, etc.), the law profession, many different positions in local, state and federal government which place a premium on the skills acquired in the master's program, as well as in the business world.
"Can I go on for doctoral work after completing the Master's degree? Will I be competitive?"
Several of our past graduates have gone on for further work at the doctoral level and have successfully completed their work at other institutions. Some have gone on to work in collateral fields such as anthropology or archaeology, while others have opted to acquire a second Master's degree, often in education. We believe that all of our degree candidates are as fully prepared for further post-graduate work as possible, but the competitiveness depends to a great extent on such factors as GRE scores, the over-all GPA, faculty recommendations and the personal commitment to the pursuit of a doctoral degree.
"How long will it take me to complete the program if I go full time?"
With a requirement of 30 hours to complete the program, it is possible to complete the program in a calendar year. However, most graduate students limit themselves to 9-12 hours per semester, which is considered to be a full-time student. A more reasonable expectation is completion within 2 years from the time of initial enrollment. University regulations set a limit of 7 years to complete all requirements for the degree from the semester in which the first graduate class is taken.
"Can I be accepted into the program if I was not an undergraduate History major?"
In general, acceptance into the program presupposes a solid background in history at the undergraduate level. The department expects students to have had at least 30 hours of undergraduate work, including a course in research and writing. Students who lack this preparation may be admitted provisionally and are expected to make up any such deficiencies prior to or concurrent with registration for graduate courses. Specific requirements will be determined by the Graduate Director and the Chair of the department. All deficiencies are in addition to the 30 hours required for the M.A. degree.
"Is a thesis required for the M. A.?"
The department offers two options for completion of the degree, one with a thesis and one without. Students may decide, in consultation with the Graduate Advisor, which option is most advantageous. Most often, students who plan on pursuing a doctoral degree are better advised to choose the thesis option which will provide them with a stronger foundation for doctoral studies.
"Is there a comprehensive examination required?"
Yes. The department does require a comprehensive examination based on the student's work at the graduate level. At the time of admittance into the program, each student will select one of the four areas of concentration as a major area and at least one other as a minor area.
The examinations are in two parts: a written exam and an oral exam. The written portion will consist of a 4-hour comprehensive examination in the major area focusing on demonstrated competency in research and writing, as well as understanding major topics, themes and events; and a 1-to2-hour examination for each minor area to show the understanding of topics, themes and events as well as a basic knowledge of the research and writing of the area. For purposes of definition a major area is considered to be a minimum of 12 graduate hours and a minor area to be a minimum of 9 graduate hours. The oral examination is given following successful completion of the written examination and will entail a 1-2-hour period involving the student's committee and focusing primarily upon the major area of study (including the thesis, if that option is selected). Students who fail either the written or oral examinations will be allowed a second attempt, but must do so within one calendar year.
"Will I be able to take classes in the evenings?"
Yes. Since many of our courses at the graduate level are seminar courses, which meet for a 3-hour period once a week, and because many of the students in the program hold day-time jobs, the majority of 600-level courses are offered in the evening as are many of the 500-level courses which may be taken for graduate credit.
"Is financial aid available?"
At present the department has limited funds available for graduate assistantships on a highly competitive basis. Students are invited to inquire about the availability, but should also contact the financial aid office for further information concerning loans and other sources of aid.

Florida's Scott, Facing Fight, Touts Economy
Polls Show Governor in Tight Race With Predecessor Crist; Did His Actions, or National Turnaround, Lower Jobless Rate?
MIAMI—As Florida Gov. Rick Scott campaigns for re-election, his pitch boils down to this: Look at the numbers.
Under his watch, the state's jobless rate has fallen to 6.2% from 10.9% when he took office in 2011, the nation's third-largest decline. Employment rose by 470,000 jobs, or 6.5%, the seventh-best gain. And rising tax revenue yielded a $1.2 billion budget surplus this year.

When you're a car enthusiast, your first trip to a Formula One race is kind of a magical experience. OppositeLock's JonathonW8 and his wife had an amazing time at Circuit of the Americas this weekend, and the highlight of the trip was meeting up-and-coming Lotus driver Romain Grosjean. Here's the story of their trip.
What to say about this weekend, it was filled with loud cars, loud people, insane amounts of money and bugs coming out of towels! In other words it was the penultimate race of the 2013 season for Formula 1, and the second year for the Circuit of the America's to host Formula 1. It was, to borrow a song title from one of my favorite new bands, The Church of Noise.
(Full disclosure: COTA and indeed Bernie Eccelstone, wanted me at the race so badly that they made me first marry a girl that loves horsepower as much as I do, and indeed she wanted the safety C63 more than the Formula 1 cars, then made us last a full year, and called her up personally and told her that they wanted me their. So they promptly took her money, and off we went!)
(This is her)
So we got up at the crack of dawn, oh wait that's not right...we got up before dawn on a freezing cold morning in Chicago to grab our flight to Houston. I trying my best to not be a kid on Christmas tried to sleep and promptly overslept, missing my chance to actually go to my computer and email my work that I would be sick because of gastric distress. That turned into a more "heated conversation" in the car with me trying to scramble and remember how to type in my password from my phone since I really don't know my password I just do it off muscle memory. The woman pictured above, always the voice of reason found my bosses email and we got it all straightened out. The next bit is a bit boring so I will glance over it, security checkpoint, blah blah, wait for plane, blah blah, me sleeping and drooling blah blah.
One plane down, one to go.
We arrive in Austin finally and the fanfare starts at the airport. Which just brings my excitement level up to 11.
However, that excitment soon wanes a bit with the arrival at the rental car kiosk.
The Part with a Hateful Rental Car Review but Suprisingly Good Banana cooler: Also known as the Kia Soul
Let me be clear, I like small cars, I like bigger CUV's, I hate this thing. I feel much like Clarkson that rental cars can be the fastest cars on the planet given the right conditions, this however was not one of those times. I hesitate to call this abomination a car, it more a box with some wheels strapped entirely to far away from the body. It is a rolling death trap, and with a bad front left brake that didn't work at all, and torque steer like you would not believe, coupled with the fact that whoever was in charge of building Austin's infrastructure must have been a hot wheels fanatic growing up as a kid.
(Actual Texas road shown)
This car was aiming to kill both me and my wife. The dash was scratching, the gear shifts were abysmal and the side paneling on the doors actually read SOUL.
But enough about this dreadful car or its amazing banana cooling off abilities.
The Weekend
We got to the race just before the second practice. I had no idea what to expect since this was my first F1 race. I knew that it would be loud. I did not expect what I got. The first cars started their engines and every single hair on my body stood up. Plus an added bonus for my wife, the biggest smile that could possibly be on my face was then plastered for the rest of the day. The noise, the power, the everything, I never thought I would feel this about this race, but oh my dear lord was it amazing. It truly was a Church of Noise and Horsepower. When we picked up our tickets before entering they gave us earplugs, and I really wondered if we would need them, come on, how loud could they be? VERY
Although I still didn't because come on, racecar.
We stayed until they pretty much kicked us out that day, and went back to our hotel, where we promptly just dropped our stuff hoping that the hotel would look better maybe after a few drinks downtown. It didn't. It got worse. Bugs coming out of the towel worse. I will spare you the pictures because I just can't handle looking at it again.
Fanfest was super cool, 12 square blocks of Downtown Austin roped off for a sort of F1 festival. Booths with cars, paintings, lots of beer, bands like Los Lonely Boys and Everlast playing, and the Infiniti Redbull area, where I got to do a dyno pull of the new G37 and try to win Seb's boots. That didn't work out so well, but it was a crap ton of fun.
(Imitation Senna Helmet:want but it was like 3g's)
We walked around looked at all the vendors grabbed some great grub from Bar Louie around the block and headed back to the hotel. I slept in full clothes, long sleeves and all the whole night, and the whole night I thought I felt something crawling on me, lets just say I was a bit tired for the second practice and qualifying. However, I did get us the hell out of there and all our money back. So in the end we won, since we only paid for 1 night at the new place!
The parking lot
While most people would think "hey your at a Formula 1 race, wtf are you talking about the parking lot?" Well, the parking lot was just as cool as inside the track. It was a veritable supercar parking lot, and for as much as Texas hates Tesla, I saw probably about 30 of them at the race, also a Lotus Exige S, a million Porsche's, a few Ferrari's, a Bentley, two McLaren's and some awesome other exotica, the only one that I actually took a picture of was a 25k Seat Leon.
(I made the right choice right?)
The race
Like any great gathering of car people, traffic was horrendous. What took us about 15 minutes for Practice and Qualifying, turned into a 2 hour ride from hell in a car from hell. But that did not spoil my day, hell no! We soldiered on and finally got to the race. We saw them warm up and got into position at turn 1. Let me tell you something, for those that say its just as good or better to sit at home and watch the race....you are a bunch of idiots. As a car person, you need to experience this, at least just once, although after the first time, I doubt you will not go the next. (We already booked our hotel and tickets for next year!) The race went like all the rest have gone in the last year, Vettel gets out in front and stays there. However, I did not go to see Vettel at all, I already figured, like most people that he was going to win. I went to see the rest of the cars race and they did not disappoint. The race between Webber, Hamilton and Grosjean was epic in my point of view. Grosjean has been killing it and would later blow my mind that day.
When I first went I didn't really know what to expect, I knew that it would be fun, but I didn't realize how much fun it would be. It wasn't just the race and the cars, and everything that went on at the track, but being with a group of crazy car people, as crazy or crazier than I am and being able to talk about Group B esoterica or how the McLaren MP12 really just doesn't do anything for me, or how we all think Seb is cheating, it was wonderful to just be able to talk and not looked at as a weirdo that I can't stand football! It was just an amazing experience and I highly recommend everyone that has a chance to go to do it. I will definitely be there next year, and hopefully you all will too.
Blown mind
My wife in conjunction with Bernine and COTA somehow pulled off one last awesome surprise, (she is great isn't she). While we were boarding our plane to Houston, one of the other group of F1 fans that I had been discussing old Ferrari's, group B rally cars, and the steering placement of the Lancia Stratos and how the 246 Dino was breathtakinly beautiful, they called me over while we were waiting in line, and said, "look thats Grosjean!" I was still far enough away and called BS on it, until I got closer and was like holy shit that IS GROSJEAN!!! Why he was on our plane I have no idea. First question that I know is on everyones minds, did I freak out. YES. I went up to him shaking, and just said "Mr Grosjean you were phenomenal today, I was routing for you to win, you were just awesome!" Which he then promptly took the wind out of my sails and said I was wearing the wrong hat.
In which I immediately said "I know I'm so sorry!" And ran away. All this is what I think I said coherently, but it most likely came out more like a Kimi mumble and "ohmygodyourromangrosjeanyourawesome!"
My wife did then tell me that I had to go get a picture of something and promptly shook so much that I screwed up twice taking the picture and had to go a third time and get the picture. I felt like a complete and utter idiot and such a little boy reaction. But I got it and ended the weekend on the best way possible. Getting a picture with a truly awesome dude.
Thanks Roman you made the weekend just that more special and one that I will truly not forget.

Clans already get to vote on who represents them. thats the CDF.
CC gets to choose who represents them & they have delegated that role to the current CD leader.
This is truly an oversimplification. The CDs operate quite independently of admin upon oh so many issues. That's not to say that admin relinquishes any rights. But, the clan world tends to be on an island relative to admin. I'm sure somebody will have some technical cogs to throw into my argument; but there's no doubt in my mind that the CDs enjoy a great deal of autonomy.
TheMissionary wrote:ViperOverLord wrote:I've killed nothing. You tried to give a hypothetical of an elected volunteer doing worse than an appointed volunteer. And I really don't get your point. I believe that the clan leaders are more than capable of selecting adequate CDs. Hence, my point that there's no need to focus upon the "margins."
And whether elected or appointed, CDs will still be volunteers. Elected CDs will not have less dedication. And if they're bad, then that's the beauty of the system. We can replace them. If a CD is bad now, we have no such recourse.
"Edit: Is someone appointed to a position really going to put in as much effort per-say, as a person who is willing to give up their own time willingly?" WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. ARE YOU DRUNK? An appointed person gives up their time willingly. An elected person gives up their time willingly. You keep going off the rails like that. So, time for me to take a break.
Elected people are usually nominated. If we can't get rid of the CDs now, what makes you so sure that we would be able to get rid of elected CDs? Wouldn't that defeat the whole purpose of your process? Basically what killed your argument, is the fact that you are willing to take an opportunity from a new set of volunteers, and place that in the hands of elected/nominated people.
As for being drunk, I have been up for almost 24 hours. Does that make you wonder, how I can still see the fallacies you bring to your arguments?
"Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish." - Albert Einstein
Well, let's just say that you were up for nearly 24 hours explains some of your incoherent statements/questions as well as some inconsistencies. Contrary to your claim, I've not fallaciously spoken to any significant degree though.
As for 'being sure' of 'getting rid of elected CDs;' you haven't listed a clear premise for such a matter. I've pointed out that if the clan community decides, then they take ownership of their system. I haven't argued for 'getting rid' of anyone (other than to state that the community would have power to vote out a CD). I've stated that clans will have the power to choose who they feel will serve the community.
Leehar wrote:
Well stated. I was thinking of addressing it from the point of view that none of the current cd's are in top 5 clans (With ace unranked, osa 9th & legion 25th, or coaches poll 10th/12th/unranked respectively) but your perspective was a trifle different. Although I did think it may have been somewhat weighted with a reference on masli, but non on jpcloet/alt1978/shaneback as other previous cd's that were also not up there.
However, I think the point I really wanted to address was the fashion in which he was throwing about aspersions like 'elitist' & 'inner circle' when referencing the CD. I was hoping to perhaps tackle any misapprehensions he may have been under in perhaps somehow assuming great conspiracies exist when nothing could be further from the truth.
Nonetheless, it was something I deliberately sought to encourage with the most recent callout, to have a frank look at prospective candidates from new & lower ranked clans. Unfortunately, such a search is also hindered by the fact that they don't always have the skills & experience of the clan world to ably assist. So while it is important to increase our independence & build confidence from amongst clans & other stakeholders, I also think that the CD's are also here to perform a bureaucratic role in performing our roles & responsibilities.
That being said, I think quite a few candidates who fulfill those requirements made our shortlist, and were viable prospects to meet our needs.
Anyway, I'll be opening a discussion in CDF on this topic, as Vipers vigorous campaigning has not gone unheard!
A quick point, BW was the head CD of the number one ranked clan during the time of the CC4 madness and Empire was something like top 3ish before the split. Most definitely, the CDs have recently been representative of a top clan class.
But, I think I should clarify that I don't want to be on a crusade against top clans (I hope to have a top clan someday). Nor do I want appear to even be for quotas of CDs based upon rankings. In theory, five CD from top five clans could work out just fine. My point though, has been that that there did seem to be some significant insider improprieties during CC4 and there was a strong element of it going in favor of the higher ranked clans in general while many mid ranked and lower ranked clans felt disenfranchised. I feel like elections is the best way to keep CDs a bit more honest and transparent and to keep all of the clans a bit more engaged.
And Leehar; I could dig-up the comments. Elitist and inner circle are perfect words and are not merely aspersions, despite your attempt wave it away with your magic wand when you say "nothing could be further from the truth." When we were having the CC4 discussions and the vote was canceled; we were hit with a wave of alleged objections from the top clans that the CDs represented through an intermediary fashion. They did not even have be a part of the discussion on the boards. They just had to work through you guys behind the scene and that was patently clear. Also, CDs even went so far as to state that of course higher ranked clans should have more clout regarding decisions. So, don't pretend that elitism is not prevalent because it most certainly is.
As for your general objections to current lower ranked clan candidates, they seem to be not specifically listed. Experience? What do you mean exactly? I would assume that most candidates don't exactly have spot-on experience and are attempting to be CDs for the first time. Skills? What skills exactly do you require? This is really all a tangent to my overarching call for elections though. It could be that the community could have the same concerns during an election process and that lower ranked clans would not gain the representation. But, really the ranking element is being overplayed anyhow. Again, it's about building trust, not meeting artificial quotas.

Yes, Bryan Singer Will Direct X-Men: Apocalypse
The summer 2016 film will star the younger First Class cast.
Director Bryan Singer dropped a bomb on comic-book fans last week by tweeting three simple words — "#Xmen #Apocalypse 2016!" — which suggested a new X-Men movie would arrive in summer 2016 featuring the classic X-Men villain Apocalypse. Since then, he's kept quiet, and other news outlets have sought to fill in the blanks (if you want to know the spoiler-filled particulars of who will be playing Apocalypse, First Showing has got you covered). Still, there are two pretty basic facts that have yet to be confirmed: Is Singer actually directing Apocalypse, and who's going to be in it?
Vulture has learned that after finishing up next summer's X-Men: Days of Future Past, Singer will indeed be behind the camera on the new film, making this the director's first back-to-back foray into the X-Men world since he kicked off the franchise with X-Men (in 2000) and X2 (in 2003). But though Days of Future Past weaves together the veteran X-Men cast (including Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, and Halle Berry) and the younger actors introduced in X-Men: First Class (James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, and Jennifer Lawrence), and Apocalypse will be a direct sequel set up in Days of Future Past's closing moments, the new film is intended to focus strictly on the younger McAvoy-Fassbender cast. The movie suggests that though First Class was the franchise's lowest earner when it bowed in 2011, Fox has enough confidence that the star-packed Days of Future Past will give the new cast enough momentum to stand on its own. In any case, Fox is doubling down hard on the hand it's playing with Days of Future Past, and with good reason: After Avatar, it's the second-most expensive film the studio has ever made.

This week we had perfection on We Live Together in the Mia Malkova, Anikka Albrite and Gabriella Ford trifecta. These ladies were decked out in patriotic garb for the fourth. They had on American flag bikini thongs and were shaking those absolutely perfect asses by the pool. You got to love summer! We pulled out the baby oil and shot it all over their big juicy asses, as they shook and twereked those booties. It was a thing of beauty and got the girls heated up. They decided to cool off in the shade of the pool deck, as they stripped down butt naked.
The ladies went crazy on each other as they sucked and licked those pussies into a frenzy. It was a crazy hot threesome that even all the firework on the 4th combined couldn't touch. The girls sucked each others pussies, fingered each other and scissored one another until they had all orgasmed multiple times. Now that is how you celebrate a holiday!

Great Depression Myths Revisited
Phase III: The New Deal
The current financial crisis, a new government bailout in the works, talk of regulation and deregulation and a general unease regarding America's economic future have politicians and pundits alike threatening a repeat of the Great Depression.
This week, the Mackinac Center is re-running one of its most successful and popular publications ever: "Great Myths of the Great Depression," written in 1998 and revised in 2005 by President Emeritus Lawrence W. Reed. This powerful monograph details the cause of the depression, the government interventions that sustained it, and how the myths that federal policies eventually "saved" the country have been perpetuated over the past seven decades.

Dear Minister
We request you to intervene urgently to secure the release of Professor Cyril Karabus, a South African citizen, from incarceration in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Yesterday, TAC and HIV-911 Programme sent a joint letter to the Durban Business Fair and the Provincial and Ethekwini AIDS Councils, regarding the plans of Umlingo WamaNgcolosi Lifestyle to exhibit at the upcoming Durban Business Fair. The letter outlines the potential harm to public health of providing a platform to the organisation to spread misinformation about HIV/AIDS and its treatment. The full letter can be read here
The Kwazulu-Natal (KZN) MEC for Health, Dr Sibongiseni Dhlomo, today released a press statement responding to the Treatment Action Campaign's (TAC) complaint to the Public Protector about the use and procurement of an unsafe circumcision device called the Tara KLamp. His full statement can be read here
KZN Government continues to rollout expensive and dangerous circumcision device
The Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) has lodged a complaint with the Public Protector against the KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Member of the Executive Council (MEC) for health and the KZN Department of Health (DoH). The complaint asks the Public Protector to investigate the procurement and ongoing use of the Tara KLamp (TK) to perform medical circumcisions on adolescent and adult men in KZN. The TK is a plastic device that is clamped over the foreskin of a man's penis for 7 to 10 days until the foreskin dies and falls off (sometimes it has to be surgically removed).
"It is said that no one truly knows a nation until one has been inside its jails. A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but its lowest ones." -- Nelson Mandela, detained at Pollsmoor Prison from 1982 – 1988. He had TB during this time.
On 28 August 2012 the Constitutional Court will hear argument in the matter between Dudley Lee and the Minister of Correctional Services. The Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) and partners will at the same time picket outside the Constitutional Court in Johannesburg and Pollsmoor prison in Cape Town.
TAC has lodged a complaint with the Public Protector against senior members of the KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) government. For further details, please attend our press conference this Thursday, 23 August at 12pm. The press conference will include speakers from TAC, the Southern African HIV Clinicians Society of Southern Africa and the South African Medical Association.

"Why do you go fishing if it's not so much fun?", my sister Annie asked me by phone the night before last.
Fishing here in Sitka, Alaska is not that much fun. At least not for me. Like nearly everyone who fishes here I fight getting seasick. It's like nowhere else. I've been on boats, big and small, off other coasts, in rough conditions. It's different here. Ask anyone. So it's either drugs or chumming. Fishing clients will say, "I wish I were dead!" At least then they'd feel better. I wear a Scopolamine patch which dries your mouth terribly, makes the land sway like the sea, and the day seem like a dream. It can take nearly an hour slamming hard water to get out to where the fish are. Because they go out in any weather. We crowd into the tiny wheelhouse because on deck there is no place to hide from the freezing spray that soaks you and keeps you shivering for the entire day.
Above you see the first fresh King Salmon I ever tasted. My new friends, Big Dan and T - T is also named Dan, but called T by friends because there are so many Dans here - they gave me a whole fresh filet from a King Salmon T caught, just hours out of the water. It was the most silky and supple piece of fish I have ever had.
So far.
So why do I go fishing?
For the fish.

I bought a Mac Mini a month ago. I love it. The only gripe I have is I wished I had a better monitor. But, that's not the Mac mini's fault. Lately, I have been thinking about swapping my Mac Mini with the new, cool, sleek, 21 inch iMac. How is that possible? There's a holiday promotional right now from October 27 until January 7. Any computers bought within this window can be returned or exchanged. Typically, it's only a two week return policy.
So, I'm debating whether to swap units. The Mac mini that I bought actually has a faster processor than the low end iMac. The Mac mini has a 2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor, while the iMac runs on the 2.7Ghz Intel Core i5 processor. As far as upgrades, the Mac Mini is a lot easier to mod. You can add easily more memory, a second hard drive or SSD to the unit without much of a hassle. The iMac is not so easy. Obviously, the best feature of the 2012 iMac is the screen and the skinny form factor. The only downside with my Mac mini setup is, I need a better monitor.

China Glaze Metro (Downtown) Collection
China Glaze Nail Lacquer: Concrete Catwalk, Loft-y Ambitions, Midtown Magic
China Glaze Metro Collection: Downtown
China Glaze Downtown Collection ($2.99 to $5.99, depending on retailer, for 0.5 fl. oz.) contains six shades: Concrete Catwalk (steel grey crème), Loft-y Ambitions (burgundy shimmer), Midtown Magic (burgundy base with flecks of gold shimmer), Skyscraper (sparkling, glitter blue), Trendsetter (mustard yellow shimmer), and Westside Warrior (camo green crème).
- Concrete Catwalk is a dark gray cream that was opaque in two coats. Zoya Kelly was the closest I could think of, but it is very blue-based, so it looks different when worn.
- Loft-y Ambitions is a deep, burgundy with very subtle micro-shimmer. I used two coats for opaque color. It's similar to Rescue Beauty Lounge Bruised with shimmer, and perhaps, a touch cooler-toned.
- Midtown Magic is a blackened, chocolate brown with multi-colored shimmer that is dominated by gold and copper. I used two coats for opaque color. It looks a lot like Dior Czarina Gold.
- Skyscraper is a translucent blue-violet color base with lots of silver glitter. I used two coats in swatches, and it was mostly opaque. I couldn't think of any dupes from shades I've reviewed in the past.
- Trendsetter is a mustard yellow with a hint of chartreuse in it, accompanied by a gold shimmer. I used two coats for opaque color. It's bolder and yellower compared to MAC In the Buff–actually, it reminded me of Sun Blonde eyeshadow initially.
- Westside Warrior is a dusty army green with a cream finish. I used two coats for opaque color. It's greener (and less yellow) compared to Rescue Beauty Lounge No More War and Zoya Dree.
The glittery shade (Skyscraper) will be difficult to remove, like any other glitter-based polish, if worn alone and as densely as shown in the swatches, so I recommend soaking a piece of felt in remover and pressing against the nail for 15-20 seconds, then pull to remove. The creams and shimmers will be much easier, as is the norm. Like Uptown, these had a good formula with nothing being too thick or thin. The polish spread evenly without streaking and drying time was about average. I used Zoya's Anchor and Armor for base/top coats for all swatches. I typically get a week of wear with China Glaze's polishes.

Musical Memories
Jeff Tweedy of Wilco
I don't have a sense of smell. Never have. Sometimes this is good (I changed a lot of diapers when my children were small) and other times it leaves me feeling as though I'm missing a critical part of life. For me, that magical link between the olfactory and memory doesn't exist. Remember the smell of cookies baking when you got home from grade school? I don't. How about the smell of your newborn child's skin? Not me. How about that first whiff of Spring in the air on a blustery March day? Nope. I'm told that smell and memory are lashed together like King Kong and the Empire State Building, or Ahab and Moby. You smell my drift.
For me, instead of smells being the exit ramp to Memory Lane, it's music. "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" by Elton John brings me right back to a nasty bout of insomnia I had for a time when I was around ten years old. "You've Got a Friend" by James Taylor puts me back on Nantucket with my mother during the summers when I was younger. I heard the song "DOA" by Bloodrock recently, and the hair on my arm stood up because that song was the soundtrack to a nightmare I had when I was very young. And yeah, there's "Ace of Spades" by Motorhead that brings me right back to stage diving at the Channel in Boston and getting knocked out.
Every few years I reach the end of the musical cul de sac I'm strolling through and it's difficult to make my way out. I usually try to just keep going straight and hack my way through the brush, forcing myself to listen to music I haven't heard before. Or, more likely, I'll try to appreciate a band that all the critics have proclaimed brilliant, but to me, seems anemic.
In 2002, Wilco was that band.
I bought Wilco's album "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" after reading all the glowing reviews and after a couple of listens I chalked it up to another case of record reviewers having themselves a little joke at our expense. Jeff Tweedy sounded like he had just woken up, the songs were disjointed, and it seemed like there had been a fistfight between the songwriter and the producer and the listening audience somehow got pulled into it and got it's ass kicked.
In the summer of 2002 I decided to attend the Illustration Academy, which was run by Mark English (and featured, among others, Sterling Hundley) and his son John. The drive from my house near Boston would take about 9 hours, so it's natural that I only remembered to bring one CD. Of course, it was the CD I just described above, so I took it as a chance to make a music appreciation breakthrough on my way to a creative breakthrough. I listened to that damned disc for 9 hours straight, and by the time I got to Richmond, VA, it was starting to grow on me. Of course, when I got there, all ready for 3 uninterrupted weeks of self-improvement, the calls for jobs started flooding in. Good jobs, too. Not just the usual spots that you can toss off over night. So, after a week and a half, I finally gave up and headed for home.
By now, the Wilco disc had settled in nicely, I knew the words, was used to the idiosyncratic structure of the songs, and I thought the album was brilliant. Happily driving north on 95 on a bright sunny June day, I looked up the road and saw a car silently rolling over. "Huh, that's funny, that car's just turning over and over" I thought. As I approached, it seemed a little unreal. There were no crashing sounds, no dramatic camera angles, just a one shot 200 yard away view of a non descript car rolling over the median and then coming to a rest on the other side of the road.
By the time I pulled up, several trucks had stopped as well. The car's roof was almost flattened, all the windows smashed and the woman who had been driving was staggering around mumbling something about needed to get her CD's. The highway was strewn with debris from the car - cups, candy wrappers clothing, CD's, a sippie cup.
Hold on there, I thought. That's what my kids drink from.
I asked the woman, who was now sitting on the road holding her bleeding forehead, "Are you alone"? She didn't seem to speak English, but she pointed a shaking finger at the back of the car "CD!" the yelled, very anxiously. "CD".
Shit. Seat? As in "child seat"?
I looked at the rear end of the car and it's smashed in roof, and perused my fellow bystanders. They were all southern trucker types. Not one of them under 6'4", 250 lbs. I felt like a sapling in a redwood forest. No way were they going to fit through that narrow assed slit that used to be a rear window. We were all on the same page though, and without discussion, decided that I was going in. One of the big guys had some sort of metal tool and cleared the remaining safety glass shards from the edges of the opening I'd go through with one sweep of his arm. I squeezed through and breathed a sigh of relief when I realized that all that was back there was the usual detritus that's left of your possessions after you roll your car.
I heard someone say "Fire" quietly ( I couldn't smell smoke) beyond the cramped, wrinkled confines of the car, and started to maneuver my way around to get the hell out of there when I sensed movement. The passenger's side front seat had been pushed back into the back seat. But there was a strange plastic thing between the two. It was vaguely familiar. "Hey", I thought, "That looks like the bottom of our booster seat at home". I lifted up the front seat and there were these big brown eyes looking blankly up at me. I thought it was a doll at first. Then the eyes blinked. "Uh, there's a kid back here" I said calmly. I tried to lift him up and out of the space, but he was buckled in pretty tight. "He's strapped too tightly, I can't get him loose" I called, and almost immediately a huge, tattooed, fleshy arm holding what looked like an even bigger knife came swinging in through the space, flailing blindly. "Hey, you're gonna kill me!" I yelled. I took the knife and carefully cut the straps holding the little guy into his seat, then gently eased him out, praying he'd emerge from his little space all in one piece. After handing the boy out to the many waiting big strong arms, I squeezed my way back through the opening, vaguely aware that there was a smoke taste in my mouth and my eyes were stinging.
I stood on the road watching the men bring the boy over to his dazed, bleeding mother and looked at the thick black smoke billowing from under the crinkled hood of what used to be a car. I felt as though I had been watching these events unfold, as opposed to participating in them. As the first responders arrived, I kicked my way through the shattered glass and debris, back to my still running car with it's driver side door ajar and the song "I am trying to break your heart" playing through the speakers on the other side of the highway, got in, and drove away into the bright June morning.
A quarter hour or so later, I noticed the steering wheel shaking, and thought, "Oh great, the damned car's coming apart". But then I realized the car was fine. It was me that was a little shaky. I called my wife and said to her, "I know it's a cliché and all, but I just pulled a kid from a burning car". She had kind of a "Oh, that's nice" sort of reaction, which is just about right. It wasn't a big dramatic thing, it was more a case of following events to their logical conclusion without a whole lot of debate.
So, when I hear Jeff Tweedy's voice now, I think of burning cars, frightened children, and perfect June days.

Acer has announced the arrival of two higher-end laptops, designed firmly with HD multimedia in mind - the Sandy Bridge packing Acer Ethos 8951G and 5951G.
Starting with the daddy of the two, the Acer Ethos 8951G - this is a 18.4-inch display packing monster, with a Full HD resolution and a choice of i3, i5 or i7 Intel Core CPUs.
It has Nvidia GeForce GT555M graphics (or 540M if your budget won't stretch) and professionally-tuned Dolby Home Theater v4 solutions with Acer CineSurround tech - which means five Dolby-tuned built-in speakers and the Acer Tuba CineBass subwoofer.
The 5951G has the same Intel Core options as the 8951G, but is a smaller machine with a 15.6-inch, 1366x768 display. You may not have Full HD, but you can still go for the top Nvidia GPU option though.
The Aspire Ethos 5951G has a 5.1-channel surround sound output with two built-in stereo speakers and the Acer Tuba CineBass booster, which supports low-frequency effects for a totally engaging experience.
Both machines come with a detachable touchpad that doubles up as a remote control, and they also both have Acer's clear.fi tech on board too. What's more there's a nifty instant on button for media playback and you've the option of a Blu-ray or DVD combo drive.
Out in mid-June, the Acer Ethos series costs from £999.

6" Vintage Number - 8
Our solid wire dimensional metal letters and numbers are finished in Antique Black and are ready for you to mount on a plaque, wall, sign, or any project you're working on.
Our unique design allows the numbers to stand away from the surface approximately ½" creating a cool 3-Dimensional affect you won't find with "painted on" numbers. These are of the utmost quality and they should, quite simply, last longer than you. :)
Handmade with character, our numbers may have slight scratches, embellishments, nicks, etc. They're not perfect and we never wanted them to be. These are a Vintage exclusive.....meaning you can't find them anywhere else.

Not-so-Happy Mother's Day card for Sen. Ayotte over gun voteBy APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent
May 13. 2013 8:38PM
LONDONDERRY - A virtual Mother's Day card addressed to U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-NH, left many with less than warm, fuzzy feelings after it surfaced on the Londonderry Democratic Committee's Facebook page late last week.The online post, which showed photographs of the 26 children and adults killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings this past December, wished the Republican senator - who recently voted against expanded federal background checks for gun purchasers - a happy Mother's Day.Upon its discovery this past weekend, local party officials removed the controversial "card" from their Facebook page.
Londonderry Democratic Committee Chairman Tammy Siekmann said outspoken Londonderry resident Jerry Conner posted the card on several Facebook pages - including the Londonderry Democrats' page."As soon as this was brought to my attention I had it removed off our site," Siekmann said on Monday.
She further noted that to the best of her knowledge, the card was circulated only as a Facebook posting and wasn't actually mailed to the senator.Contacted Monday evening, Conner acknowledged he'd posted the card on Facebook, which he obtained from an activist site in Newtown, Conn.
Conner stood by the card's sentiment.
"I'd like to say I was the original creator (of the card) but I'm not that creative," he said. "People are getting in an uproar over this, but I also think a lot of people are upset about (Ayotte's) actions. In my opinion, the senator made a mistake here."Londonderry resident Glenn Douglas was one of several constituents to post some thoughts of his own on the party's Facebook page.
"You should apologize," he wrote. "How many Admins (sic) have access to posting photos on this site?"In a written statement issued Monday afternoon, State Republican party chairwoman Jennifer Horn urged the state's Democratic leaders "to have the courage to stand up and denounce the disgusting political tactics used by their party's activists."Horn called the card "despicable and inappropriate."
Others were of a different opinion.
"They can run all the misleading ads they want, but bottom line is Kelly voted against NH values..again," state Democratic party Chairman Ray Buckley tweeted on Monday.A call made to Ayotte's office on Monday seeking comment wasn't immediately returned. Ayotte has said she voted against the Manchin-Toomey bill because it would restrict the rights of law-abiding gun owners but not deal with preventing a "deranged individual or criminal from obtaining and misusing firearms to commit violence."Ayotee said she favors improving existing background check systems that keep guns from people who should not have them, and she has called for greater focus on the mentally ill.
Last week's Londonderry Facebook incident wasn't the first time the senator's stance against gun control has been publicly challenged.The liberal organization Granite State Progress delivered some similar "Mother's Day cards" to Ayotte's Nashua office on Friday, according to its executive director Zandra Rice Hawkins.
Contacted Monday evening, Hawkins said the Granite State Progress wasn't involved in the image posted on Facebook, but stressed that "we're not opposed to it either."She noted that yet another group, Sandy Hook Promise, has posted a Mother's Day card online, asking people to sign "in solidarity with families experiencing their first Mother's Day after the loss of a child.""The similarly styled card to Sen. Ayotte simple reminds a U.S. senator who is blocking gun violence prevention measures to acknowledge the pain those families are going through this week," Hawkins email@example.com

My husband and I enjoyed this dark chocolate bar made with Madagascan cocoa, and thought it was very reasonably priced, given the quality of the cocoa, and the awards this bar has won.

Because of its proximity to three major highways and the state's two largest cities, Marlborough has become a desirable destination for major corporations. But Marlborough has much more than just a great location. Gourmet restaurants, plentiful shopping, a thriving downtown, a rich history, and a new professional sports franchise make the small city a worthwhile destination for visitors from anywhere in the region seeking a quick weekend away.
If you're looking for chain hotels, Marlborough has many options. One family favorite is the Hampton Inn (277 Boston Post Road West, 508-787-9888, www.hamptoninn.hilton.com, $107-$209), which features a free breakfast, an indoor pool and whirlpool, free Wi-Fi, and a fitness facility. Those seeking more distinctive lodging should consider Longfellow's Wayside Inn (72 Wayside Inn Road., 978-443-1776, www.wayside.org, $140-$175), just across the Sudbury line. Thought to be the oldest operating inn in the United States, the Wayside served as an inn and tavern for nearly 150 years starting in 1716. Henry Ford bought the property in 1923 with the intent of turning the historic structure into a living history museum. Eventually the inn was converted into a historic nonprofit. Each of Wayside's nine guest rooms, furnished with antiques and country reproductions, boasts views of the inn's wooded grounds. A new sister property, the Wayside Carriage House Inn (738 Boston Post Road, 978-443-2223, www.waysidecarriagehouseinn.com) offers classic New England decor with modern amenities such as a 32-inch flat screen television in each room. Both properties offer special packages with rates starting at $69 a night.
Start your day with the locals at Jakes Restaurant & Coffee Shop (30 Main St., 508-480-0414, cash only, breakfast $5-$10, entrees $6-$12). Here you can get classic comfort foods such as marinated steak tips and delicious breakfasts like the spinach, tomato, and feta omelet with corned beef hash from a fast and friendly waitstaff. The Sandwich Company (162 Church St., 508-303-3043, www.thesandwichcompany.net, $5-$9, cash only) is tucked away on a residential street and offers the best sandwiches in town. The Merchant of Venice wrap with chicken, pesto, spinach, tomato, mozzarella, and sprouts is a must-try. Zarape (33 Maple St., 508-485-5502, www.zarapemexicanrestaurant.com, $6-$17) serves up mouth-watering Mexican cuisine in a no-frills atmosphere. Look for the large mariachi figure outside. Kennedy's Pub (247A Maple St., 508-481-8050, www.kennedyspub.com, entrees $8-$20) plates fresh seafood from its adjacent fish market in addition to tasty burgers, lobsters, steaks, and other home-cooked meals in a casual setting. Looking for something a bit more upscale? The menu at Fish Restaurant and Wine Bar (29 South Bolton St., 508-460-3474, www.eatatfish.com, entrees $14-$40) includes regional favorites like lobster and fish and chips, but it also intrigues with delights like sesame-crusted tuna and grilled swordfish with sweet basil-lemon aioli.
During The Day
If the kids get restless, public skating is available daily at Navin Arena (451 Bolton St., 508-624-5580, www.fmcicesports.com, skating $5, rental skates $5). Miniature golf fans don't have to wait until the summer to break out the putter. Trombetta's Farm (655 Farm Road, 508-485-6429, www.trombettasfarm.com, adults $7.50, children $6) offers indoor miniature golf and homemade ice cream on weekends in the winter. As if golf isn't hard enough in broad daylight, Glowgolf (601 Donald Lynch Blvd., Suite N161, 508-485-9900, www.opryglowgolf.com, adults $9, children $7) at the Solomon Pond Mall tests your ability to hit the ball through a windmill in the dark. This unique attraction is open after 4 p.m. weekdays when school is in, from 10 a.m.-9 p.m. on Saturdays, and 11-6 on Sundays. When school is out, Glowgolf is open 10-9 on Monday through Saturday and noon-6 on Sunday. Outdoor recreation remains plentifulduring the winter months, and the 6-mile Assabet River Rail Trail (start at the corner of Lincoln and Highland streets, www.arrtinc.org) is one of the best ways to enjoy the natural beauty of Marlborough and neighboring Hudson. Sports fans are anticipating the arrival of the city's new professional indoor lacrosse team. The Boston Rockhoppers (121 Donald Lynch Blvd., 781-235-6100, www.bostonrockhoppers.com, tickets $11-$21.50) will play their first home game at the New England Sports Center on Jan. 12. There are six home games between January and March, and most of the roster are New England players. Those who enjoy more artistic pursuits should try the Coffee Loft (406 Lincoln St., 508-251-1431, www.coffee-loft.com) to have a cup of joe and then, in the same building, the Mad Hatter Gallery (www.mad-hatter-gallery.com), which specializes in work by local artists. The Wayside Country Store (1015 Boston Post Road, 508-481-3458, www.waysidecountrystore.com) was built in 1790 in Sudbury. Auto-industry pioneer Ford bought the building in 1928 and moved it next to Hager Pond in Marlborough. The store showcases hundreds of collectibles and an extensive candy counter at the Olde Tyme Candy Store.
The Lazy Dog (31 Main St., 508-229-2254, cover charge, usually $5, varies on weekends) not only has great pub food and drinks, but it has karaoke on Wednesdays, a DJ Thursdays, and live bands on Fridays and Saturdays. The Westender (493 Boston Post Road West, 508-485-1185, www.thewestendermarlboro.com) offers dart competitions on Mondays, karaoke every other Saturday, team trivia on Thursdays, and flavorful wings every day while fans watch sports on the big-screen television. Dante's at Firefly's (350 East Main St., 508-357-8883, www.fireflysbbq.com, cover none-$12) has live music every Friday and Saturday and open-mike nights every Wednesday. Enjoy the entertainment after some of New England's best barbecue. The Halfway Cafe (820 Boston Post Road, 508-480-0688, www.thehalfwaycafe.com) has live acoustic music on Thursdays while patrons enjoy favorites from its extensive menu.Matt Taylor can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

If you have cancer, your priority is medical care. But you can also get help in other areas of life.
The first person to speak to about social care is your doctor or nurse. They'll be able to discuss your needs and refer you to a key worker, possibly a social worker.
This is the person who'll be responsible for assessing exactly the kind of help you should get. There are so many sources of help available that it's essential to have someone to guide you.
A care attendant can help with housework, dressing and washing, or even just keep you company and give your carer a break.
Look into this as soon as you can, because many care attendants have waiting lists and some councils charge for the service. Find out more about home care and practical support in our guide to care and support.
Social services may also help with meals and laundry, or provide a "sitting service" that lets your carer have a break.
For more advanced care, an occupational therapist can provide a more detailed assessment of your needs at home. They can make your life much easier by arranging equipment and adapting your house.
Not all the help you need will come from social services, however. Charities and voluntary organisations can provide you with excellent care options. These include Cancer Research UK and Macmillan Cancer Support.
Stuart Danskin is the senior cancer information nurse at Macmillan Cancer Support. "We're a charity that provides information and can help prepare people before they see a consultant," he says.
It's important to remember that people with cancer have two main needs: physical and emotional. It's with emotional care that the voluntary sector can really make a difference.
"We can help the families of people suffering from cancer," Danskin says. "We realise that it's not just the patient but the whole family that can be affected.
"They may not know as much about the illness as the patient in their family, or they may be worried about the care of the family that will fall to the next of kin. We help support families with information and guidance."
The healthtalk.org website has articles and videos on people talking about living with cancer, including practical and emotional issues.
